Mama armadillo has a family almost twice the typical size. Why it’s so rare

SOMEWHERE IN TEXAS — An armadillo family was spotted recently crossing a Texas road and one baby struggled to keep up with its six siblings.

Mama and the other pups made it safely across, while the seventh stayed on the other side.

“Hey, lady, you’re forgetting one,” Amanda Walding told her as she captured the adorable family on her cell phone.

Texas Parks and Wildlife shared her video and explained that armadillos almost always give birth to identical quadruplets, so having seven is very rare.

No wonder mama couldn’t keep up!
